Coleoptiles are the growing part of shoots in monocot plants. Peter Boysen-Jensen performed the famous experiment on phototropism of shoots in monocot plants. Later, Frits Went extended the experiments. Some of the essential observations of their experiments are listed below: I. Shoots of young rice plants bent in response to light. II. If the tip of a growing rice coleoptile was removed, the response of bending towa
Options
- AThe bending of shoot can be induced in another decapitated coleoptile plant after transferring the tip of ligh
- BThe diffusion of a substance present in the tip is induced by light.
- CAn agar piece not inserted in the coleoptile, when placed on a decapitated shoot, will cause its bending.
- DThe substance that causes bending is stable and not destroyed by light.
